Mobile Terminal Location and Weather Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems primarily focus on providing location information but neglect the importance of weather conditions, which can significantly affect vulnerable individuals such as children and elderly people, leading to health risks when they are alone outdoors.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for a mobile communication terminal that continuously feeds back both location and weather information to a designated terminal, automatically starting GPS and weather forecast functions when needed, and sending alerts if weather conditions exceed preset thresholds or if the location changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only location information is fed back, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but weather information is neglected which can affect health safety
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines location information feedback and weather information feedback into a single integrated system. The mobile communication terminal simultaneously obtains both location data (via GPS) and weather data (via mobile operator), then transmits both types of information together to the feedback terminal, resolving the contradiction by merging previously separate monitoring functions into one unified solution that maintains ease of operation while enhancing health safety monitoring capability
2Reliability
If GPS and weather forecast functions are always started, then location and weather information can be obtained continuously, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically starting the GPS function and weather forecast function when a feedback request is received, rather than keeping them running continuously. The terminal obtains location and weather information only when needed (upon receiving a feedback request from the mobile communication terminal of the opposite end), which reduces energy consumption while maintaining continuous monitoring capability through on-demand activation of monitoring functions
3Reliability
If weather information is added to the feedback system, then health safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile communication terminal is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a location monitoring device (via GPS) and a weather information acquisition device (via mobile operator). This universal terminal performs multiple functions—obtaining location data, obtaining weather data, and transmitting both types of information—thereby improving health safety monitoring without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the same terminal handles all monitoring tasks

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables guardians to monitor the location and weather conditions of children or elderly people in real-time, providing timely warnings and ensuring their safety by integrating location and weather data into a single feedback system.
Implementation Method 1
receiving a GPS satellite signal, and obtaining the location information of the local machine according to the GPS satellite signal
Data Source
AI summary
A method for feeding back location and weather information by a mobile communication terminal is disclosed, including: obtaining location and weather information of a local machine; sending the obtained location and weather information to a feedback terminal which is preset in the local machine and requires for feedback of the location and weather information of the local machine. Both the local machine and the feedback terminal may be mobile communication terminals. Through the method, the location and weather information of the local machine can be fed back to the feedback terminal.
